We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
This modern three-bedroom detached family home was built in 2014 by Chestnut Homes. It sits in a quiet, no-through lane in a popular residential area of Alford.
The house gives you around 1,300 square feet of total space, which includes a large detached double garage. Inside, the ground floor has a great layout for family life.
It includes a bright living room that runs from the front to the back of the house, a separate study for working from home, and a large dining kitchen. There is also a handy downstairs cloakroom.
Upstairs, you will find three good-sized bedrooms, a private en-suite shower room for the main bedroom, and a separate family bathroom.
Outside, there is a safe, fully enclosed rear garden with a lawn and patio area, parking for two cars, with plot overlooking a charming green area with a children's play park.
The location blends countryside living with easy access to the coast. You can drive to the beautiful beaches at Huttoft Point and Anderby Creek in just 15 minutes.
Alford itself is a historic market town right on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds. It has plenty of local amenities, including shops, a weekly market, and a doctor's surgery.
The town is also excellent for families because of its schools. It offers good primary education as well as top-quality secondary schooling, including Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School.
For a wider choice of high street shops and supermarkets, the larger towns of Louth and Skegness are both an easy 14-mile drive away. Council tax band: C. Freehold.
